bella has gone on for long enough. innocent people are dying, property is damaged, families are shattered. and 11, these economy continues to decline. the country is suffering for no good reason. it's an everyone's interest to resolve it quickly and diplomatically added to the recent escalation is really defense minister assess the situation in lab. and on this evening with idea of chief of staff had of northern command and had of these really air force. and we heard from that meeting, but the military has to ensure its readiness for continued operations. we are preparing and assessing our capabilities again. anything that make com defense minister said, which indicates that a bottle of harsh words and warnings that we see now could potentially lead to real actions. affairs are now growing in israel and in western media that israel's

famous iron dome air defense system could be caught off guard by hospitalized low tech drones. the rebel group is believed to be using, quote, a deceptively simpler weapon, able to operate independent of radio signals of high speed flight close to the ground and maneuver to avoid israel as detection system. these capabilities allow hezbollah to accumulate information and the drop explosives on is rarely soil. well, in total, the group is believe to have up to $100000.00 fighters at his disposal and up to $200000.00 rockets, missiles, and bombs. we spoke with a sudden numerous specialist on his rally palestinian relations from the west bank, who says that despite its rhetoric, the ideas may not have the capabilities to wage war against loving on or from the side. you know, the. busy the meaning given that the. busy on once we finish

when we need just to remind them not so much if you want that that is 9 months as big even to now and how much and you guys know he's in the army. ready as the army is in that situation, have the same time, get your phone lot is far more down. your business does get dense. i'm sure you have the more, you know, have 3 access to really very good. it keeps any size for them. and okay. and yeah, most of these folks are. busy enormous shortly after wrapping up his the storage trip to the dpr, k, russian president vladimir putin arrived in vietnam, where he's been warmly welcomed by local officials on

the right. let's cross live now to our correspondent don carter, who joins us from a noise. don, having been in the d b r k, this recently has the situation in vietnam. is there a busy schedule ahead? either rachel? well, uh, i just joined you on the program at just the right time because the welcoming

ceremony for vladimir put in the and the russian delegation here in hon. no, i in front of what you can see behind me is the presidential palace here is about to take place to welcoming ceremony where bottom are put and set to meet with the president, the vietnam. he's they, they've got a lot of meetings ahead of them today. a lot of negotiations are going to take place stopped inside the meetings with it's not so this is really an important event that's taking place right after the historical business or meet mean vladimir putin and determine that took place in the democratic people's republic of korea. so, as you heard behind me, i mean, the military orchestra was playing vietnam has a set up its own, a grandiose welcome ceremony for the russian delegation as well. and in for us as part of the russian present, let him or he wrote an article ahead of this diplomatic total. these taking on it was published in vietnamese media. let's take a look at what he wrote. vietnam is an ancient civilization that is vibrant and

unique, adding to the tapestry of a multi polar will annoy misuse and independent foreign policy in the global arena . and strongly advocates. a just world order based on international law and principles of equality for all states and non interference in the internal affairs . we see it now as a like minded partner in shaping a new architecture of equal an indivisible, your ration security. on an inclusive and non discriminatory basis, we are grateful to a vietnamese friends for the balance position on the ukraine crisis. and the desire to facilitate the search for practical ways to settle it peacefully. all of this is fully in line with the spirit and nature of our relations. as i mentioned, this is the 2nd stop on vladimir prudence, diplomatic tour to stop tour 1st in the dpr k, and now here in vietnam. and when he gave his, when he spoke the press conference with confirming the teacher our case, you made similar statements saying that the dpr case to be praised for it's

balanced and a good position on the ukraine conflict. then they also signed an agreement on strategic cooperation and mutual security as well. the trip was to appealing english, routed with criticism and, and disapproval from the west. is it any different with this trip there to vietnam? of the trip or russian delegation to was have a nation would be completed without the western criticism. i mean, we've already seen it in the western media, the u. s. embassy and has criticized the trip, criticizing vietnam for accepting and welcoming flooding or moving to the country, criticizing anyone who gives a quote unquote platform to the bottom or the statement from the u. s. embassy, but essentially be a novice, responded that like russia like the d, b r k. it is determined to follow a foreign policy and a general policy based on its own sovereignty and its own decisions that the

government is going to make for itself. the state visits across and presidents of legitimate puts in to vietnam, concerns to be at times foreign policy course though it's independence, self reliance piece, friendship corporation. the tickets are behind me, the russian anthem is being played in the canons are going off as the welcome ceremony is going on shortly. we're going to see the pressing. that'd be a non ours. but uh, like i was saying this rhetoric that we heard from the view, the new side is very similar to what we heard from the dpr k as well in the 1st stop of this diplomatic visit, essentially, that the d, b r k is not gonna lie down in the face of western pressure, western sanction the fact that there are thousands of pages in south korea still a part of the deep you're k occupying the country. this is something that you

will not stand for and as well as people have said that it's going to defend its right to sovereign decision making. so don, it sounds like it's quite the warm welcome for the russian presidents. they're behind to talk to us more about the situation on the ground. how, how is vietnam breeding? the idea of the russian presidents visit the, the, the, well we got, we got here and the noise late last night, or you can say early this morning around 4 o'clock in the morning. but earlier before our visit, the median was able to collect some interviews of people on the streets of vietnam, voicing their positions, how they feel about the visit, the rest of delegation that was very positive to be at these people really seem to be looking forward to some really good developments from these talk to them. i'm very happy that the leader of the republic of vietnam, invited, present, put in to visit the country to discuss cooperation. you have a nice people are very welcoming and happy because the 2 countries,

vietnam and the russian federation have a very long and strong friendship. i also hope that the ties between the 2 countries will grow day by day. so that when those we love russians, people very much the people of russia very kind. they have supported all con, she, so many years. we're grateful to russian people and president, 14. we're now in a tense world situation like this rusher and vietnam should strengthen their relationship because there are many threats to the security and peace. the now, as i said again, this is just the beginning of the 2nd stop on lot of air pollutants today. political side to take political tor. uh and this is really a day that's going to be filled with meetings and negotiations, document signing. we're gonna hear some statements from water put in as well. later on today, i'll even have the opportunity to ask him

a question. so we're going to be staying on top of the details. i definitely state to secure what the rest of the president's going to have to say at the end of the day here. don, i know it's a bit hard to hear. i'm just wondering if you could talk to us about a little bit about what's happening behind you right now. yeah, sure. well, like i said, this is just the beginning of the of the actual ceremony that's being so getting ready to take place off tamar right now. they're actually young pioneers. that'd be, that'd be a mom. but it looks like we're gonna have to make way. great, right? now actually, so we'll come back to you when we have the opportunity. all right. all right, don carter in a no, i don. thank you. all right, well former being that means deputy defense minister told us that the russian presidents visit could supercharged bilateral relations. okay, good vietnam and the russian federation are taking new developments at a higher and more practical level in old areas in politics, culture, trade,

science and technology. and i also expect that after the visit of president food and it will reach a new level industry gigi partnership, the comprehensive cooperation between the russian federation and via now historically, vietnam was very interested in russian equipment and weapons that had helped me. and i'm going to resist new voice against france, and especially against the united states. and in the cutting period. vietnam is very interested in a new technology, a brochure that is for drone, an electronic welfare as well as other areas such as the air force, navy artillery, and all the equipment for the army. vietnam and the russian federation are all members of the i. c and block has a very important meeting. that is, it conveys the message the vietnam is a bridge between countries in the region. and countries in the world rushing via now will contribute to building trust, stability of the region. as it developed world wide piece. the

infamous for heating up american tensions with china, former us, how speaker nancy pelosi is taking shots that chinese president sheets and paying the same as like a stable pale in comparison to that of the dalai lama. and that says the us delegation met with the exiled tibetan spiritual liter. despite warnings from badging of his holiness, the dalai lama was his message of knowledge and tradition, and compassion and purity of soul and client, and, and love. he will live a long time and his legacy will live forever to you. president of china. 6 you'll be gone and nobody will give you credit for anything. now people seem to pull us off. speaker boss. so when we joined on my voice style launches, now in the, in the, in the town of that i'm showing the is essentially the way that they saw. so where

do you measure leadership? any zine has their offices any? yeah. now the stop level by thoughts is on us that edition, that came to india on tuesday. identities in comprising both of democrats and republicans, as actually they moved to to show solidarity with the division. so i know that the season i not houses that for just need to be weekdays, meeting. china also reacted shops just isn't like the 14th dalai lama is not simply a religious figure, but a political exile, engaging in anti china, separate dest activities. these guys as a religious figure, where gravely concerned about the relevant reports and thursday us to fully recognize the insight china to break this nature of the delilah. i'm a group honor, it's commitments on the 2 bit issue. refrain from any form of contact with them and stop sending the wrong message to the outside world. these off to the us. awesome.

know the result. stupid that has been signed by the president. yes. but essentially what this is showing, not re engage with the, to better need to re engage with them. they are trying something that we cannot let them get away with. now, in the spirit of his holiness, se is gracious to the chinese people. i don't know that they're up to this, but we do know that the chinese government is and we do know that they must get the message. and this legislation sends the message, the house and the senate, and soon to be signed by joe biden. the president of the united states country, boston, yours for a different country. what does that mean? it simply means that it holds no significance, no bearing one shot. no, so this means guns thieves the full of the line. all mines used to drive him to the

us. he's going to put a nice so judy that all new designed engagements that aren't here yet. whether there would be any formal meetings with the us officials why he will be the us, the back, you know, to be out with this for the that believes is the one china policy, india that has been a facility for this particular meeting of the west of eastern in the shauna for now has been quite a new survey carried out by the university of warsaw has revealed that the polish people's attitude toward ukrainian refugees has changed drastically. the results show 95 percent of polls believe social benefits for your credit in asylum seekers. should be significantly reduced. well, only 17 percent would welcome to refugees if asked to do so. well, that's less than half of the number who responded positively 2 years ago. and we're

on the 5th of respondents think the polish government should stop eating ukraine completely. in the neighboring ukraine, men are fleeing a new conscription law that came into effect last month. footage emerges daily on social media, people being forcibly taken away by draft officers. a recent bbc report, detailed how cab execute the mobilization policy and the fact it's having so these wedding, it wasn't just the weather. they didn't go to plumb houses, the guess didn't show up going out in public. he's now too risky to men who don't want to enlist. are you afraid he might be courting consent myself? i know it's not annoyed, so i don't to walk outside at all now unless i'm with my daughter, and that is because they don't take people with that shows or a recruitment post as knowing the streets of odessa the message together to victory

. but ukraine is now divided between those who are prepared to fight and those who would rather run full high political analysts. martin j says europeans are tired of the refugee influx and ukrainian men fear being shipped off to what locally is called the meat grinder. ukraine has been run now, so long, long, very, very backward autocratic, lions, you know, the shut down of any opposition media and an option policies and everything that we would associate as a normal function. democracy has been stripped away from it. you know, there is a massive amount of people in new credit. i don't believe the thoughts of going to win the war and they see moving towards the front line and as a conscript. so just as is just a suicide ticket, one way to get to, to being able to write too many europeans, particularly in countries that immediately affected by the well having a change of heart. you know, there is a, a shift in the,

in the war itself. russia is getting more ground by the day. and many polls and many europeans now starting to actually wake up and smell the coffee. they are getting tired of it. they are getting tired of the western lead. some they to is narrative because they don't see anything positive coming out from it. all right, well, um vladimir flew to vietnam directly after uh, wrapping up. all right, to uh, moving on, a to western reporters were killed in your training and attacks during the past week. the international federation of journalists has condemned their deaths and is seeking a pro to be carried out to russian journalists have been killed in separate incidents in a domestic region. the international and european federation of journalists strongly condemned these killings and urge the authorities to conduct a swift investigation into the death of the journalist. the victims were

a camera man who was struck during its showing and a war correspondent killed in a draw on attack, both in the doing that square public. more than 30 russian journalists covering the conflict have now been killed with the russian president, stating, none of those deaths are allowed to be investigated in ukraine. in september 2022 and our team is true. had a close brush with death and the her son region one a hotel they were staying and was hit by a us supplied missile fired by kids troops. 2 people were killed in that strike our camera. man. was briefly buried under the rubble of his room before being pulled out. alive. the police are good for yourself. or did you have the zip you? yep. you're welcome.

this is this is my room. the rules of barely started the inside. that's the baltimore. and that someone trapped in the next room so suddenly to love to get through. at this point we are told downstairs trying to help her. and she was, is willing to stay with 3 employees of the migration service team or for people to local residents. working on the reception, the wall head flew straight into them. it went through the 2nd floor and they were killed. the minutes he left this place yesterday, maybe the strike was trying to hit them. everyone is very afraid of a 2nd strike. there was often the 2nd attack within 30 minutes. intel in war

correspondence and reality tv shows the credit and government is determined to suppress the other side of the story of the cube or a theme uh try to control the information and also describe the dates that uh, jordan. at least try to describe it to the journalist that they're working on that are on the side and then try to, oh, did you notice are trying to show another perspective of all of this conflict. i remember a such a case that happened in russia and ukraine. some months ago when the russian of the correspondence office of the german state, the television, it's a desktop. what was going to my you for, for a live, from the city. and i remember the minister of information in ukraine, a told the to the desk john, the if you don't to uh, fix this live. so if your correspondent, the not say that to you, my,
